Fu Yuling’s unabashed laughter made He Xuan even more uncomfortable. His long eyelashes still had a few small teardrops hanging on them as he lowered his head to wipe them away.
His face quickly changed, completely different from the appearance of someone who had just cried.
“I’m not crying anymore. You…”
He hesitated, “You’re not allowed to laugh at me.”
This series of actions actually reminded Fu Yuling of something.
He Xuan actually had a talent for acting. She hadn’t noticed it before, but seeing how he now behaved completely unlike someone who had just wiped away his tears, she suddenly remembered.
In the novel’s plot, the four children gradually became influential figures in various fields, with their combined power being something the male protagonist couldn’t resist.
She didn’t know if that could be considered their success. Because by following that path, the four children would inevitably suffer emotional trauma, perhaps even cruel ones.
They didn’t receive a good education from the beginning. In the end, their ability to bring down the male protagonist was a stroke of luck.
All the thrills and dangers they experienced were condensed into a mere ten years of time in the author’s narrative, so Fu Yuling had no way of knowing everything that happened to them.
“Alright, since we see that you’re not crying anymore, I’ll reward you with some candies.”
Fu Yuling took out a few candies from a jar and handed them to He Wen and He Xuan. She shook her head helplessly as she watched He An who had fallen asleep leaning against her.
“Let’s not read the book for now,” Fu Yuling picked up He An. “Xiao Wen, was it Aunt Zhang who brought the taro earlier?”
“Yes, it was Aunt Zhang.”
After placing He An on the bed, Fu Yuling took out a dime and handed it to He Wen.
“She has helped us a lot, so you can give this money to her. I remember she has another child at home. Would you be willing to give your share of candies to them?”
The last sentence was spoken by Fu Yuling as she lowered her body to talk to him.
He Wen didn’t hesitate. When he and his brothers had no food to eat, it was Aunt Zhang who had helped them. Since someone had extended a helping hand to him, he knew he had to repay the kindness.
He Wen put on a mature face and said seriously, “Don’t worry, I will definitely deliver it.”
Once Fu Yuling was sure that he didn’t feel reluctant, she personally took his share of candies and put them in the small pocket of his clothes.
“Come back quickly, we will have dinner when you return.”
After acknowledging her words, He Wen quickly left and disappeared from the doorway.
What Fu Yuling didn’t know was that as soon as He Wen left, the wheel named “fate” began to rotate.
The direction of some events slowly approached the plot of the novel.
In the evening, Fu Yuling had no plans to cook. They hadn’t finished the meal from noon, so she decided to warm it up and have it again for dinner.
Thinking about her upcoming plan to set up a stall, she took out some vegetables and started thinking about how to prepare them in a way that would attract customers right away.
Finally, she remembered the cold dishes she used to have in her previous life. After they were prepared and cooled down, they would taste even better. It was easy to store and had a great texture.
Once she decided what she wanted to make, she skillfully picked up a knife and started cutting the vegetables. After all the vegetables were prepared, the sauce became the most important part.
She adjusted it several times but felt that the taste didn’t feel quite right.
After pouring it out and trying again a few times, she finally felt satisfied after changing one ingredient in the chili sauce.
Now it was a little after four in the evening, and it was still not dark outside. Fu Yuling was waiting for the cooked vegetables to cool down so she could pour the sauce over them.
With nothing else to do, she went to the room to check if He An was awake. He Xuan was sitting quietly, holding a book by himself.
He An woke up when she approached, stretching out his little hands to be held. Fu Yuling’s eyes were filled with a smile as she picked him up.
